<p>Haven't seen a <em>Miss Peach</em> in years, although I can still access <em>Momma</em> online.</p>
<p>Any idea if the strips will continue, even if it is just in rerun mode?</p>
<p>I have the Lazarus paperback. Good read, even if there isn't any "insider" tidbits.</p>

<p>Looking at strips from April and May, based upon the copyright markings many of them were reprints from 2005. The ones without this notation are presumably new strips. I wonder if they will continue (like with Peanuts) to reprint old strips.</p>
